Hey Chas,
any updates on this one? any new images..?

I see you used a wallpaper stripper to clean it, does this work well?  ive tried Ciff on mine and its cleaner for sure, but not getting the stubborn dirt of, so i will try your techniq if you say its good

Cheers,
Poze

Doing the work looks that bit easier with that stand Chas, perhaps you could rent it out ?

Just finished the Panto hard work but worth it All it needs now is a good test run ....Take a look before and after

Experimenting with the stripes is nice , I've always been tempted to alter the colour of the headlight decals but not sure how well received that would be
